TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS

Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool, garments to be hand- washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash new coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as nylon stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a fabric bag).
Empty the pockets:
Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washing machine and the drum. Check all buttons.
Follow the dosage recommendation/additives
It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent
Use low temperature and longer duration
The most efficient programs in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
Observe the load sizes
Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the
“PROGRAMME CHART” table to save water and energy.
Noise and remaining moisture content
They are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washing machine off and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use flammable liquids to clean the washing machine. Clean and maintain your washing machine periodically (at least 4 times per year).
Disconnect the water and power supplies

• Close the water tap after every wash. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.
• Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all maintenance work.

Clean the washing machine

• The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned using a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
• The washing machine has a “Auto-clean” cycle for its internal parts; it must be run without any load in the drum.
• To optimize this cycle, it is possible to use either detergent (10% of the quantity specified for lightly soiled garments) or special additives to clean the washing machine. We recommend running a cleaning cycle every 40 wash cycles.
• To start the cycle press buttons and simultaneously for 5 seconds.
• The cycle will start automatically and will run for about 70 minutes. To stop the cycle, press the START/PAUSE button.

Clean the detergent dispenser drawer

• Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

Care for the door and drum

• Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

Check the water inlet hose

• Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked or broken, it must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pressure of the water could suddenly split the hose open.
• Never use hoses that have already been used.

Cleaning the water filter / draining residual water
Switch off and unplug the washing machine, take out the kitchen plinth before cleaning the water filter or draining residual water. The kitchen plinth must be mounted back all the time once the cleaning operation is over. If you used a hot wash programme, wait until the water has cooled down before draining any water. Clean the water filter regularly, to avoid that the water cannot drain after the wash due to obstruction of the filter. If the water cannot drain, the display indicates that the water filter may be clogged.

1. Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage.

2. Remove, pulling it out, the “emergency drain hose” from the base of the washing machine . Remove the stopper of the “emergency drain hose” at the end of the hose and let the water flow into the container.

3. Turn the exhaust filter handle and pull it out of the housing .
   When the container of plinth is full with water, plug the stopper to the hose end, and reinsert the small hose in the washing machine’s base . After, empty the container . Afterwards firmly close the emergency drain hose with the stopper .

4. Remove filter: Lay a cotton cloth beneath the water filter, which can absorb a small amount of rest water . Then remove the water filter by turning it out anticlockwise .

5. Clean the water filter: remove residues in the filter and clean it under running water .

6. Insert the water filter: Reinsert the water filter again by turning it in clockwise direction . Make sure to turn it in as far as it goes; the filter handle must be in vertical position . To test water tightness of the water filter, you can pour about 1 liter of water into the detergent dispenser .

Then reinstall the kitchen plinth.

LOAD BALANCING SYSTEM

Before every spin cycle, to avoid excessive vibrations before every spin and to distribute the load in a uniform manner, the drum rotates continuously at a speed which is slightly greater than the washing rotation speed. If, after several attempts, the load is not balanced correctly, the machine spins at a reduced spin speed. If the load is excessively unbalanced, the washing machine performs the distribution process instead of spinning. To encourage improved load distribution and balance, we recommend small and large garments are mixed in the load.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

Do not lift the washing machine by gripping it from the upper section. Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and detergent dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the filling hose from the water tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water remaining in the hoses and secure the latter so that they do not get damaged during transport. Apply the transport bolts back on. Repeat, in reverse order, the transport bolt removal procedure described in the “Health & Safety and Installation Guides”.
